NEW BOOK! DETROIT DYNASTY. THE FACTORY DECOYS OF PETERSEN,DODGE,AND MASON. F3
Other books have been written on the subject of factory decoys, particularly Mason decoys. Yet,many questions in the minds of collectors remained. This void was the catalyst for this book which eliminates a lot of the uncertainty about the decoys produced by Mason, Dodge and Petersen.
This is a landmark publication and a must have for all collectors, dealers and auction houses as it serves as a template for all of us to revisit the identification of decoys in our factory collections. The considerable material(350 pages with 500 photos and illustrations) in this book is the result of more than twenty years of research by the authors Bill Dodge and Ronald Sharp. Mallar Decoys considers this book a Must Buy!

Harry Stevens,Weedsport,N.Y., FBW 1
Harry A. Stevens of Weedsport New York. Flat bottom Red Head in origin paint as well as condition. Some in-use gunning wear to the paint as shown with the "Mackey Collection" stamp on the bottom. Great, great Stevens form with the most wonderful balance and symmetry with the best lines probably ever seen with but a few rivals in a true early working decoy example.

Hays Mfg., Co., Jefferson City,Mo. FJY 6
These decoys are often mistaken for Masons. This I believe to be actually a Hayes Superior Grade glass eye model. Hays did a good job copying the shape of the Mason, but the paint detail was seldom as good. Although this was a later factory, there are less examples of this company as the output compared to Mason was limited. Appears to be original paint as well as condition with the exception of neck repair work. Nice decoy for any factory collection.

Petersen Decoy Factory,Detroit,MI.PRICE REDUCED! FMM 1 PL
Petersen Drake Blue Bill standard grade glass eye model, Ca. 1930 in original paint as well as condition. Various rubs to the paint as shown attributed to in-use gunning wear. Neck filler missing and may have an old second coat of paint to the bill. Round bottom hunting decoy which is solid and showing very nice form and a wonderful old dark rich patina.

Wildfowler Decoy Factory,Bohemia,N.Y.,2EPRICE REDUCED!!
Pair of Bluebills from Wildfowler Decoy
Factory, Bohemia,New York, which were released thru the Sportsman's Club International the first year of issue for the Sportsman's Club. The medallion on the bottom as shown is released in 1988-1989. The Drake is in perfect shape and the Hen has a few very shallow nicks in the finish which could easily be touched up.

FBW 9 12.5" long solid coot attributed to Dodge Factory, Detroit circa 1890.
Dodge advertised coots for several years, but a Dodge Coot is unknown.
The experts have examined this decoy and admit that the body looks like
a Dodge but the head does not. By comparison, the Mason coot has a
head unlike any other Mason, so it seems that this could be the long
lost Dodge Coot. Price asked is a small fraction of the value if this
turns out to be the rare Dodge coot.

Early Black duck from the "original" decoy factory run by George Soule who was a guide, friend and employee of Leon Bean the founder of the company that still bears his name.Balsa Body/pine head model in very good original paint as well as condition that was once probably used in Merry Meeting Bay. Retains original glass eyes, intricate bill carving with removable head. The majority of Bean's decoys were made of cork, but during WWII, balsa was used for the bodies.
